Overview
The Prodigy 2.0 is the ultimate all-mountain shred-tool. Packing the right ingredients to help you jump, stomp and surf all over the mountain. Its poplar core is soft and poppy to butter slushy rollers while maintaining stiffness underfoot, meaning the only way to beat your last run, is to go back up for another one. Tip and tail rocker are reduced compared to the 1.0 and 3.0 models, giving this 2.0 a more solid feel, without affecting the float and easy pivoting. Surf zones mellow the handling and make buttering easy; the elliptic Radius Sidecut gives the ski a dynamic feel for mixing up the turn shapes. Venture into the park and the hardened 2.5mm edges ensures the ski is durable on rails; the 98mm waist helps you stomp landings.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Skiing everything with a bias towards playing around on the pistes and off the sides.Skier TypeAdvanced and intermediate freestyle skiers who want to ski all mountain. Its not hard to use, with a flex thats firm enough to work in rougher conditions and still soft enough for easy handling, butters and smears as well as riding in fresh snow.OverviewShapeIts a directional twin with a tail quite a bit narrower than than tip, built for carving and slarving with occasional switch landings and skiing backwards. The tail rocker is smaller than on the CT 2.0, making the ski feel more supportive. 98mm in the waist works in a variety of terrain, not too wide or narrow; the 20m (183cm) helps keep things stable.RockerTip and Tail Rocker uses traditional camber underfoot for response and good edge grip, with rocker at the tip and tail to improve manoeuvrability by aiding turn initiation and completion. CoreA poplar core is a great balance of lightness with durability and good pop, perfect features for an all mountain freestyle ski. It makes the Prodigy 2.0 slightly softer than the CT 2.0, adding to the ease of use.ConstructionFull Strength Sidewalls run the length of the ski and optimise the precision and edge hold. On top of this is a Anti-Chip Micro-Cap that rounds off the topsheet where it meets the sidewall, increasing durability and better resisting the little dings and bangs.
